Maybe Trump, Ryan and Mulvaney should volunteer at Meals on Wheels for a few days. Open their eyes to real life.

Shame on the Gary School Corporation for hiring a public relations specialist to put a positive "spin" on the state of the school system. Here is free advice: Stop spending money you do not have. There is no need to put a positive spin on something that is beyond out of control.

Because nobody in our government was willing to support Trump's outrageous claim on wiretapping, the folks at Fox News gave him another excuse to use. He now claims Britain's GCHQ doted on him. Except Britain, our ally, demanded an apology immediately.

Last weekend we heard about 5 minutes worth of news about a White House jumper. I'm pretty sure it was a setup/diversion from the news at hand. No follow up from this story.

It's getting pretty bad when a big percentage of Republicans are siding with President Obama. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., is demanding that President Trump apologize to President Obama.

The current U.S. administration has put forth a budget, which is madness. The score of this budget is a lopsided win for D.C. Beltway. Taxpayers lose by reductions in domestic and social programs, while the administration gets an increase in two nondomestic programs and one politically sensitive domestic program — Veterans Affairs. So, there is more than one type of March madness!

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists and the hopes of its children.

North Korea is threatening nuclear war. Do you Trump supporters feel perfectly safe now, after putting a man with the mental capacity of a 6-year-old in charge of our nearly nonexistent foreign policy?

It's a good thing that our president doesn't drink. Can you imagine how much worse he would be after a night of drinking?

It is very clear to me that we need a major upheaval in our elected officials. We need to enact a law about term limits ASAP. These relics in office have totally lost touch with the real world. One term and out.

Who in their right mind thinks we should overfund our defense budget and build a ridiculous wall while cutting budgets that help the elderly, the children and the poor?

You would think that if your goal was to get people to like you, your first priority wouldn't be to see how many people you could aggravate.

You are correct, Congressman Steve King and the others in Washington think that they belong to a superior class. Except their behavior is in the gutter, every single day.
